About
./drum.code is a live coding performance for human and computer. During the performance the computer acts as a co-performer playing itself by making changes in the code while listening and reacting to patterns played on the drums. On the other side the human will react to the sounds made by the computer resulting in a dialogue between the analog and digital worlds of both performers. The code is added in real-time, based on previous programmed live coding performances and pre-coded snippets. Decisions are made via machine learning techniques trained on rhythmical patterns and tuned probabilities. Every performance is semi-improvised for both the drums and the electronics.

Thanks to
Between July 2024 and July 2025 ./drum.code and the development of the ./drum.code software was made possible by funding granted from Creative Industries Fund NL (Stimuleringsfonds Creative Industrie). The funding will be used to further develop the software, give workshops, collaborate with other artists and organise performances.
